My two penneth.
I have had symbian phones and Sony Ericsson phones for many years and when symbian works well in a phone it is superb. Deducting 2 out of 5 because a phone cant stay stable is reasonable as far as I am concerned and hence my decision to choose and remain with the K800i.
Its a phone and an excellent camera with a good stable music/media player. The phone is simple and quick in terms of its menu structure. It makes and receives calls without an issue and has excellent battery life when in 2g mode.
Its only pitfall is that it doesnt have an operating system like the N73... but again I ask myself - whats the point of having an expandable and versatile operating system installed if its only going to cut off calls and cause the phone to shut down occasionally and run slow once I start installing programs that I want to utilise?
I really wished that the N73, or even the Tytn or P990, could beat my k800i. For reliability, portability, durability, battery life, simplicity the K800i takes it. For expandability the k800i loses its crown.
Best Regards!

Youre very welcome....
I am still looking for something to beat the k800i and am willing to pay top dollar for it!
I am bored on my k800i but wont let it go until I can get something as reliable and where all the features work like they are supposed to - as they do on my k800i.
Regards - have a good "debate" folks!

Hey, I'm still totally happy with my w810.
Could use a bigger memory card though i will admit.
Either way...

those saying n73 is unstable is obviously have an obsoleted info. N73 has become very stable since the first firmware update. Even the K800 was unstable on first release.
And n73 dont even have trouble playing CIF video let alone QVGA ones.
It boils down to your personal preference. Get normal phone functions for lesser price (K800) or smartphones capability for slightly higher price (N73).

I'm happy to try out an N73 and admit it if my viewpoint is out of date.... I'm going to get some cash together by selling my silver 8800 and see what the new firmware N73 is all about.

Perhaps the answer is simple - the two devices dont really compare. If you want a camera in a phone go for the K800i. If you want a phone with smartphone possibilities(!?!) the N73 is the answer.
Whilst there are not really enough differences to go from one to the other, the differences that do exist are what makes us individual when we choose our device.
I will try the N73 - if someone wants to swap an unlocked one for my stainless steel 8800 then I am game!
- but I wont give up my k800i.... not until I am satisfied that the differences are enough for ME...
